sadaa kahate kahate

main ehavaal-e-dil mar gayaa kahate kahate
thake tum na "bas, bas, sunaa!" kahate kahate

mujhe chup lagii mudd'aa kahate kahate
ruke hai.n vo jaane kyaa kahate kahate

zabaaN guung hai ishq mein gosh kar hai
buraa sunate sunate bhalaa kahate kahate

shab-e-hijr mein kyaa hajuum-e-balaa hai
zabaaN thak ga_ii marhabaa kahate kahate

gilaa harzaa-gardii kaa bejaa na thaa kuchh
vo kyuuN muskuraaye bajaa kahate kahate

sad afasos jaatii rahii vasl kii shab
"zaraa Thahar ai bevafaa" kahate kahate

chale tum kahaa.N main ne to dam liyaa thaa
fasaanaa dil-e-zaar kaa kahate kahate

sitam haaye! garduuN mufassil na puuchho
ke sar phir gayaa maajaraa kahate kahate

nahiin yaa sanam 'Momin' ab kufr se kuchh
ke Khuu ho ga_ii hai sadaa kahate kahate ............
